Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ability to make overviews about the sexes affected by pelvis differences in males and female.
Introduction:
The pelvis is a bony structure. It is present near the base of the spine which is attached to the legs. Its prime role is to give support to the weight of the upper body while sitting and to transfer this weight to the lower limbs when standing.

This is a case from the Seeley, Stephens and Tate Anatomy and Physiology, 6th Edition
A 15-year-old football player is tackled
during a game, and the epiphyseal plate of
the left femur is damaged (figure 6.16).
What are the results of such an injury, and
why is recovery difficult?
Diaphyris

Fractured
eplphyseal
plate
Eplphysia

Figure 6.16 Fracture of the Epiphyseal Plate
Radlograph of an adolescent's knee. The femur (thighbone) s separated from
the tibla (leg bane) by a Jolnt cavíty. The eplphysenl plate of the femur is
fractured, thereby separating the diaphysis from the epiphysis.
You are running an anatomy lab program, and you are interested in categorizing all of your skulls into
those that would be considered more female-like, and those that would be considered more male-
like. Read through the description of each skull below and estimate the number of "male" and
"female" skulls in total, based on your understanding of how to determine the sex of a skull.
Skull one: square mental protuberance, dull supraorbital margin, prominent superciliary arches, small
external occipital protuberance.
Skull two: round mental protuberance, dull supraorbital margin, small superciliary arches, small
external occipital protuberance.
Skull three: square mental protuberance, sharp supraorbital margin, prominent superciliary arches,
prominent external occipital protuberance.
O 1 female and 2 male skulls.
3 male skulls.
3 female skulls.
2 female and 1 male skulls.
A male cranium (skull) tends to be all of the following EXCEPT:
Group of answer choices
The sacrum is wider and shorter
Larger in overall size
More pronounce brow bone
Larger mastoid process (area behind the jaw)

- At his ninety-fourth birthday party, Jim was complimented on how good he looked and was asked about his health. He answered, “I feel good, except that some of my joints ache and are stiff, especially my knees and hips and lower back, and especially when I wake up in the morning.” A series of X-ray studies and an MRI scan taken a few weeks earlier showed that the articular cartilages of these joints were rough and flaking off and that bone spurs were present at the ends of some of Jim’s bones. What is Jim’s probable condition?arrow_forwardThe bones of the elbow joint include the humerus and the ulna. The humeral surface looks like a cylinder whereas the ulnar surface looks like a trough.

- An 80-year-old grandmother, Tess, while putting dishes up on a shelf, fell off a step stool and was unable to get up. She activated her medical lifeline and the emergency medical team arrived at the scene. They noticed her right leg was abducted and she was complaining of pain in her right leg and hip. Tess was taken to the emergency department, where an X-ray revealed that the neck of her right femur was fractured. Further X-rays revealed a reduced bone mass in her right hip, femur, and vertebrae. Surgery was done to repair the hip. Tess is now recuperating and having physical therapy treatment daily. What is the injury? Which organ and body system(s) is this Name the type of tissue involved in this situation and the cells responsible for healing. Explain what bone remodeling is (Include a diagram and source) and what type of cells are involved. The physician says she will do an open reduction to repair Tess’s hip. Explain the process of an open reduction.arrow_forwardwhich bones are most used for assessing sex in an unknown individual? pelvis humerus ulna femur metacarpal rib radius tibia skull talusarrow_forwardHow can you describe a clavicle in anatomy?arrow_forward
